"In Alcohol Use Among Adolescents, author Michael Windle examines a number of pressing questions, including: What do we know about kids and drinking? How widespread is adolescent alcohol use? How do we assess it, and how can we prevent it?" "Despite the attention this issue has attracted in the past decade, there is no concise and integrated summary of existing knowledge about adolescents and drinking. Alcohol Use Among Adolescents fills this void by integrating research from multiple fields of study, describing measurement approaches (e.g., survey and clinical diagnostic), reviewing risk and protective factors, reporting on findings from prominent prevention and treatment studies, and suggesting future research directions. The book examines etiology, developmental course, and prevention and treatment, and it identifies future research directions."--Jacket.
